Commission hears multiple small‑scale map amendments in Plant City and Temple Terrace; some items continued to November
Summary
Staff briefed the commission on several privately initiated future land use map amendments in Plant City and Temple Terrace — proposals ranged from commercial re‑designations in northeast Plant City to industrial designation adjacent to I‑4, plus small Temple Terrace commercial/residential changes — and staff scheduled returns or hearings where applicable.
At the Aug. 12 meeting the Planning Commission received staff briefings on several small‑scale future land use map amendment requests across Plant City and Temple Terrace.
Unika Mills presented a privately initiated amendment at multiple Wilder Road parcels (~5 acres) in northeast Plant City seeking a revised application that asks for roughly 0.5 acre to be designated Plant City Commercial and a portion near Wilder Road to be light commercial office; staff noted the change would increase nonresidential floor‑area potential from about 115,000 sq ft under existing entitlements to roughly 160,000 sq ft if approved.
Krista Kelly briefed commissioners on PCCPA 24‑06, two contiguous parcels (~14 acres) on Swindell Road in eastern Plant City seeking a change from Hillsborough County Light Industrial and Residential 1 to Plant City Industrial; pending annexation is running concurrent with the amendment. Kelly said the site abuts a recently approved large‑scale industrial tract and would permit industrial uses, business parks and site‑intensive commercial uses if amended.
Unika Mills and Krista Kelly also presented small‑scale amendments in Temple Terrace: a 0.42‑acre Rainbow Drive site proposed to change from Temple Terrace Residential 4 to Temple Terrace Commercial (potential for about 9,000 sq ft of nonresidential use), and a ~20‑acre Rollerson Ranch Road site proposed to change from public/semi‑public to Temple Terrace Residential 18 (which would allow multifamily residential uses under that designation). One item (PCCPA 24‑07 Bennett Road) was continued by the applicant to November.
Commissioners asked questions about jurisdictional edges between Plant City and the county, compatibility with adjacent residential neighborhoods, and the timeline for return hearings. Staff indicated they will return the items for future hearings with outreach requirements and annexation steps as appropriate.
